Motivations
Suppose that you need to print a string (e.g.,
"Welcome to C++!") a hundred times. It would be
tedious to have to write the following statement a
hundred times:
cout << "Welcome to C++!" << endl;
So, how do you solve this problem?

Problem: Guessing Numbers
Write a program that randomly generates an
integer between 0 and 100, inclusive. The program
prompts the user to enter a number continuously
until the number matches the randomly generated
number. For each user input, the program tells the
user whether the input is too low or too high, so
the user can choose the next input intelligently.
Here is a sample run:

Example: An Advanced Math Learning Tool
The Math subtraction tutor program in Listing 3.6,
SubtractionTutor.cpp, generates just one question for each run. You
can use a loop to generate questions repeatedly. Listing 4.1 gives a
program that generates ten questions and reports the number of the
correct answers after a student answers all ten questions. The
program also displays the time spent on the test and lists all the
questions, as shown in sample output.

Controlling a Loop with User Confirmation
char continueLoop = 'Y';
while (continueLoop == 'Y')
{
// Execute body once
// Prompt the user for confirmation
cout << "Enter Y to continue and N to quit: ";
cin >> continueLoop;
}

16
Ending a Loop with a Sentinel Value
Often the number of times a loop is executed is not
predetermined. You may use an input value to signify the
end of the loop. Such a value is known as a sentinel value.
Write a program that reads and calculates the sum of an
unspecified number of integers. The input 0 signifies the
end of the input.

Input and Output Redirections
In the preceding example, if you have a large
number of data to enter, it would be cumbersome to
type from the keyboard. You may store the data
separated by whitespaces in a text file, say input.txt,
and run the program using the following command:
SentinelValue.exe < input.txt

Caution
Don’t use floating-point values for equality checking in
a loop control. Since floating-point values are
approximations, using them could result in imprecise
counter values and inaccurate results. This example uses
int value for data. If a floating-point type value is used
for data, (data != 0) may be true even though data is 0.
double data = pow(sqrt(2.0), 2) - 2;
if (data == 0)
cout << "data is zero";
else
cout << "data is not zero";

Note
The initial-action in a for loop can be a list of zero or more
comma-separated expressions. The action-after-eachiteration in a for loop can be a list of zero or more commaseparated statements. Therefore, the following two for
loops are correct. They are rarely used in practice,
however.
for (int i = 1; i < 100; cout << (i++));
for (int i = 0, j = 0; (i + j < 10); i++, j++) {
// Do something
}

32
Note
If the loop-continuation-condition in a for loop is omitted,
it is implicitly true. Thus the statement given below in (a),
which is an infinite loop, is correct. Nevertheless, it is
better to use the equivalent loop in (b) to avoid confusion:
for ( ; ; )
{
// Do something
}
(a)
Equivalent
This is better
while (true)
{
// Do something
}
(b)

Example: Using for Loops
Problem: Write a program that sums a series that starts with
0.01 and ends with 1.0. The numbers in the series will
increment by 0.01, as follows: 0.01 + 0.02 + 0.03 and so on.

Which Loop to Use?
The three forms of loop statements, while, do-while, and for, are
expressively equivalent; that is, you can write a loop in any of these
three forms. For example, a while loop in (a) in the following figure
can always be converted into the following for loop in (b):
while (loop-continuation-condition)
{
// Loop body
(a)
}
Equivalent
for ( ; loop-continuation-condition; )
{
// Loop body
(b)
}
A for loop in (a) in the following figure can generally be converted into the
following while loop in (b) except in certain special cases (see Review Question
3.19 for one of them):
for (initial-action;
loop-continuation-condition;
action-after-each-iteration)
{
// Loop body;
(a)
}
Equivalent
initial-action;
while (loop-continuation-condition)
{
// Loop body;
action-after-each-iteration;
(b)
}

Recommendations
Use the one that is most intuitive and comfortable
for you. In general, a for loop may be used if the
number of repetitions is counter-controlled, as, for
example, when you need to print a message 100
times. A while loop may be used if the number of
repetitions is sentinel-controlled, as in the case of
reading the numbers until the input is 0. A dowhile loop can be used to replace a while loop if
the loop body has to be executed before testing the
continuation condition.

Minimizing Numerical Errors
Numeric errors involving floating-point
numbers are inevitable. This section discusses
how to minimize such errors through an
example.
Listing 4.7 presents an example that sums a
series that starts with 0.01 and ends with 1.0.
The numbers in the series will increment by
0.01, as follows: 0.01 + 0.02 + 0.03 and so on.

Problem:
Finding the Greatest Common Divisor
Problem: Write a program that prompts the user to enter two positive
integers and finds their greatest common divisor.
Solution: Suppose you enter two integers 4 and 2, their greatest
common divisor is 2. Suppose you enter two integers 16 and 24, their
greatest common divisor is 8. So, how do you find the greatest
common divisor? Let the two input integers be n1 and n2. You know
number 1 is a common divisor, but it may not be the greatest commons
divisor. So you can check whether k (for k = 2, 3, 4, and so on) is a
common divisor for n1 and n2, until k is greater than n1 or n2.

numbers and probability to solve problems. This method has a wide

chemistry, and finance. This section gives an example of using the

Problem: Displaying Prime Numbers
Problem: Write a program that displays the first 50 prime numbers in
five lines, each of which contains 10 numbers. An integer greater than
1 is prime if its only positive divisor is 1 or itself. For example, 2, 3, 5,
and 7 are prime numbers, but 4, 6, 8, and 9 are not.
Solution: The problem can be broken into the following tasks:
•For number = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ..., test whether the number is prime.
•Determine whether a given number is prime.
•Count the prime numbers.
•Print each prime number, and print 10 numbers per line.
